Being Thankful

Many friends are writing one thing each day that they are thankful for through the month of November. Well, we will see if I can do that. As you can tell I am really good at updating my blog about once every year! So here goes.... Today I am thankful for this little baby growing inside me. Although pregnancy has made me feel like a nervous wreck every day, it is so worth it! I love going to the doctors, minus peeing in the tiny cups (any one else struggle with this, haha!). I just love hearing his heartbeat, and feeling his sometimes painful movements in my belly. Although I have had some rather unusual symptoms/side affects (why don't people tell you everything that could happen as a prego woman?) Even though I am sick of strangers throwing in their two-sense -- Example: Sub at my school asks, "When are you due?" Me: "January 9th" Sub: "Really, you are huge! Do you have diabetes or something" Me: "No, and I have only gained 18 pounds so I guess I was just fat to begin with!" Uh people make me angry! Oh well! It is all worth it! I already love my baby Jackson (who is not name after Michael Jackson like many of my students think) more than anything in the world. I can't beleive Sam and I created this little guy and he is part of both of us! I can't wait to see what he looks like, hold him in my arms, and just love him to pieces (well I can wait till January, ok Jackson, your little scare in September was not funny! You just stay in their and grow till at least December 27th!) So today, I am most grateful for my little baby!
